Honestly, my only issue was the lateral force of a click jiggling the cursor, but that can be sort of compensated for using the thumb to brace the mouse. Actually moving it around was fine, it's not too heavy, it positively glides across my mousepad. But check the sizing guide; they are indeed bulky compared to a normal mouse as you note. I don't think the bulk affects the comfort at all though, for me anyway.

I do! I was developing pretty bad RSI from my traditional keyboard/mouse setup so I got:

• An Evoluent Vertical Mouse D: https://evoluent.com/products/vmdm/
• A Kinesis Advantage 2 (which I recall you and I have talked about a bit before): https://kinesis-ergo.com/shop/advantage2/

For me, the keyboard was the fix for my wrists. The vertical mouse didn't help at all and was much more frustrating to use than my Deathadder because clicking now jiggles the cursor a bit (because the force of the click is now sideways, rather than down into the desk). However, it did help a lot when I started getting elbow pain from the regular mouse. Of course, I later discovered that it was just transferring the strain from my elbow up to my shoulder, once that started to hurt...

Nowadays I'm just back on my exercise plan, and nothing hurts anymore 🙌 Obviously working out won't fix wrists though. If I recall right you're using Colemak on a regular board for your wrists? May be time to try the "full swoop" or whatever the style of the Kinesis is called. Or if I misremember and you're already using an ergo board, I hope the vertical mouse helps!

Hmm. Those are good points, particularly if people were expecting human-translated subs when they subscribed. If they're gonna use AI it should be clearly marked on their site. I appreciate the breakdown; I wasn't aware of the intricacies involved in translating foreign works.

Edit: seems like there's more to the job than I thought, TIL

~~Sorry, but why is this bad? Translating is drudge work, like data entry, that should be done by a machine so humans can go do other more interesting stuff. I'd argue that if nobody knew before now, the generated subtitles are good enough; I'd also point out that automatic CC/subtitling has been around and in use a lot longer than ChatGPT and nobody batted an eye until recently.~~

That's a distinct possibility! I know you said you don't have OCD but you don't really have to have that specifically; overgrooming is a feature of anxiety-related disorders like OCD because it's related to anxiety, so it can show up in less-severe forms as a disordered behaviour even without you suffering the full pathology. Worth keeping an eye out next time you feel it coming on, see if you notice anything else about it.

Do you notice any stimulus or frustration that happens around the desire? Like a patch of skin that won't stop itching, or an emotional trigger - maybe something agitating you at the time that seems unrelated?

You’re basically saying that everyone that can have anything to do with the database and systems around it are corrupt and working together.

No, just the person in charge has to order it. People do what their bosses tell them. Rules and procedures don't matter if the people in charge ignore them. And again, you're not getting access to any of the data we're talking about in the first place, because the government would have to grant that access, and you're not a person as far as they're concerned in this scenario. What organisations have you worked for that would just give out information to a person they can't verify the identity of?

That’s a ridiculous conspiracy theory.

No, it's happening now in the US. You seem woefully under-informed to be trying to comment on current affairs. Maybe stick to your own country until you're up to speed.

Network-attached storage is pretty proscriptive for what these machines actually do nowadays. Especially the home ones like this, tend to end up pulling multiple duties like media server, homelab, etc. Heck, a dedicated resource for local AI projects is a use case I built into my custom-built NAS using an old 2080 I had laying around after an upgrade, precisely because I want to be able to use my desktop for other stuff while the model is running.

Exactly. People are capable of changing and the left is supposed to believe in redemption. This purity-testing dead-to-me bullshit every time someone forgets a pronoun or whatever is a cancer that's setting our movement and message back every time we fall into the trap.

Changing yourself is hard. We all deserve acceptance and support when we pull it off, for the good of all.
